Grant Balfour notched his first save since July 1 in Friday's win over the Blue Jays.

Jake McGee pitched the eighth inning and Brad Boxberger was apparently unavailable, so Balfour got the call to protect a 1-0 lead. He was pretty sharp, retiring the side in order while recording two strikeouts. Still, we're not expecting Joe Maddon to make a habit out of this down the stretch. Fri, Sep 12, 2014 10:09:00 PM

Grant Balfour revealed Saturday that he believes he's been tipping his pitches.

Balfour has walked 27 over 36 1/3 innings this season, so it's not just pitch-tipping that's led to his issues. However, it could certainly be a factor in his struggles. "I have a few things, and it's been cleaned up," Balfour said. "You look at the numbers and you think maybe they knew what was coming at certain times. That can explain a few things here and there. I'm not saying I pitched the best, but it doesn't help when someone knows what's coming. It could be an issue. It's definitely cleaned up, so we'll find out." Sun, Jul 20, 2014 12:14:00 PM

Grant Balfour got the call to close out the game Tuesday and responded with a scoreless inning to earn the save against the Yankees.

Balfour, who hadn't had a save chance since June 11, walked two batters in the inning before slamming the door. He's allowed just one run over his last 6 2/3 innings while striking out nine as he attempts to distance himself from his early struggles. It's worth noting that Jake McGee worked the eighth inning and Joel Peralta, who had been used in each of the last two games, got the night off. For now, the situation is still fluid enough that it's tough to trust any to get consistent save chances. Tue, Jul 1, 2014 10:30:00 PM

Moore, who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery threw all fastballs during the session. He threw his changeup on flat ground on Monday, so it's likely just a matter of time before he incorporates the pitch into his bullpen sessions. The young left-hander is currently on track for a return around June.

McGee is currently working his way back from arthroscopic surgery in December to remove a loose body from his elbow. He's slowly progressing with his throwing program and the Rays expect him to begin the season on the disabled list, but he could be ready by late April or early May if all goes well.
